Reliable and cheap online storage by Amazon S3

Post by psi29a »

I use this at work and at home, its cheap, reliable and secure. Works on Linux, Mac, and Windows. :D

So, to backup my 50gig MP3 collection is $7.5 a month and I can sync between my home and work machines for example.

Or backup 1gig of important documents and files I work on form work to home, $0.15 a month of storage plus additional $0.20 for a gig worth of traffic once on Amazon's server.

I thought you all would be interested, its great stuff.
